He attempted to spring the trap of running the nomination of both Lincoln and Halin through by one resolution by acclamation, which was frowned down by the Convention. Here followed a squabble between delegates who desired to be recorded as nominating Lincoln, in which Cameron got sadly mystified, changing and modifying his motions in all manner of forms.
